Again, this feature is suppored by jEdit. So it must be possible to

As for jEdit, then it seems at least they have had trouble with this
aspect of the app - though I do not know if it is the exact same
issue:
* https://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/bugs/3453/?page=0
However the abvoe jEdit bug was closed with the following patch - I
do
not know it could be of any use to you:
* https://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/patches/377/
Difficult to read and understand the above patch.
Once again, reading the Java source code of jEdit to find out how they
did it would be too time-consuming for us. Sorry.
OK. Sorry.
Btw, with regard to opening files from Finder, then, first I do not
know
if this helps, however, I see that Eclipse has had the same issue as
XMLmind and NetBeans currenltly have. Here is a web page that
described
a solution:
http://bewarethepenguin.blogspot.no/2010/08/setting-up-java-files-to-automatically.html
The above blog page basically teaches a Mac user to associate a
".java" application to Eclipse.
It sounds as if you turn that blog post into *less* than what it claims
to be. It is as if you say that is only about association a ".java
application" with Ecplipse.
But in fact the post says: «Although this demonstrates using .java
files, you can do the same for any other file type; as long as your
installation of Eclipse has an editor to handle that file type, it
should work just fine.»
This page does not describe what to do to workaround the Java bug
which prevents a Java application from opening a file to which the
Java application has been successfully associated.
As I hinted above: I do disagree (in fact: not only strongly, but
completely disagree) with what you say here. In fact, the screenshots
inside list-item 3 and list-item 4 of that blog post displays *exactly*
the OSX/macOS feature with which I would expect to be able associate
e.g. "foo.xhtml" files with XMLmind XML Editor. So if XMLmind XML Edit
implement exactly what Eclipse, according to this blog post, already
does, then I would consider the bug I have reported to be solved.
